I'm sure the CRTC will ensure that Atwood is read by Canada'a children for centuries to come.
Overall my opinion is that this doesn't affect me in the slightest. There are millions of future voices I will never hear in my lifetime and too many that I currently have to listen to too often.
When disaster happens and the holding mechanism is destroyed along with everything inside, will we cry tears for books that never really existed? Will we lose the one piece of knowledge that was written that could save mankind from itself? I sense a premise for a story that might already have been written.
